"AMERICANlSM." p"

Mr.. Pixley, editor of the San
Francisco A1gOnaut, the organ of
the american" party of San Fran
cisco, says in an editorial of July
10, 1887: ....
This vermin dhe working class is
swarining and becoming dangerous from
numbers, bold from necessity, desperate
from hunger; it threatens social order,
the security Of property, and the preser-
vation Of individual rights. The time
has come when the small differences that
divided Yank and Rebel should be lost
sight of and forgotten in the presence of
a greater peril. This land is under the
shadow of greater danger than that OF
slavery, is nearer to more fearful brink
than when it unsheathed swords in civil
war. There is need of pure-bred Ameri-
cans who, for go years, have lived in
the South land, preserved by the institu-
ton of slavery from that more direful
curse of criminal European invasion;
preserved, by owning labor, from its in
surrections and unlawful uprisings; pre-
served from dynamite and discomfort by
an entire absence from its territory OF
the vicious, discontented, and dangerous
element that in our more Northern cities
holds sway, and in our Northern States
is becoming an element of terror"
His capitalistic bosses say of him
that he is a Constantlnople Jew,
bred as a lawyer, breeched as journ-
alist, and salted down at last by
monopoly as their prize purge war
ranted to relieve any country of a
surfeit of "red herring" He voices
the wish of his party and nationality
in the above editorial to a dot. They
want to be preserved from the wrath
of our comrades by owning labor

A CUBAN lNSURRECTlON.
An Expedition From Key West
others TO Follow.

KEY WEST, Sept, "a Cuban
expedition is believed to have sailed
from here several days ago, intend
ing to land upon the eastern portion
of the island and join Matagasas and
the other guerrilla bands Of the i'll
terror. The party is led by one
Bereablcn, and armed to the teeth
with repeating rifles, improved re-
voIyors, dirks and bonds, and is well
supplied with dynamite. Other par
ties are said to be arranging to fol-
low from here, New Orleans, Jamai-
ca and other points soon.
The failure of the ten years war,
which ended in '68 or go, was due
to the refusal of Grant to acknowl-
edge the Cubans as bclligcrents. If
the Cubans at that time had been
recognized as belligerents, there is
no doubt that the Spanish monarchy
would have had to relinquish the
island, and it would long since
have added another star to the
United States flag. Success to the
"rebels and their filibuster friends

CAPITALS VICTIMS.
No Decision Yet in the Chicago Work
mems Cases.

The Supreme Court of Illinois has
not ut last accounts rendered Il de-
cison in the cases of the seven con-
demned men who are charged with
completely in defending unarmcd
men, women and children against
the revolvcrs and clubs of Chicago
police, by the throwing of a bomb,
which killed a number of the would
be murderers. -.
Opinions conflict as to what the
decision will be. Considering the
influence of the low grade of capi-
talists a favorable decision is consid-
cred doubtful, still there is IL posi-
bility that considerations Of policy
may influence the judges to recon-
mend a new trial.

PURELY AMERICAN.
Eviction of a Poor Woman with Five
Children.

Worshippers Of "American' insti-
tutions are now furnished with a
new cause for alteration. A recent
issue of the Newark On. j. NewS
published the following account of a
neatly-executed American eviction:
"Passers-by on Court street last night
during the storm saw woman surround
ed by five children all crying bitterly
among heap of furniture on the side
walk. The woman was Mrs. Mary
Friendman, a widow who, with her five
children, had been turned out of her
house during the rainstorm for non
payment of rent. With her family she
had occupied rooms at 30S Court street,
for several years. Since then she had
supported her family by doing any sort
of work she could get. Two of the
small children worked in the factory and
helped to support the others. The
woman was unable to meet all the de-
mands made upon her, and for the past
two months has been unable to pay her
rent.
"Her landlord, G. Diebel, obtained a
writ of ejectment, and yesterday after
noon while the air was heavy with the
threatened rain, a constable, accompa-
MED by two men, entered her room and
began to carry her furniture ont on the
street. The woman begged and implored
the men to allow her furniture to remain
in the house another night, saying it
was going to rain and she had no place
to go to. The men were acting under
legal instructions, and despite the
woman's prayers, carried all her house
hold goods to the street and locked up
the vacant rooms.
"Soon after the rain began to pour.
The widow and her five children sat
among the tumbled household goods and
filled the air with their cries. Charles
Halzworth, the baker, of 306 Fifteenth
avenue, took pity on the unfortunate
woman and her family, and invited
them to accept the hospitality of the
house for the night. This morning the
furniture still lay on the street, ruined
almost beyond repair by the rain which
had fallen through the night. There
are no wealthy people in the neighbor-
hood, but the neighbors have offered to
take care of the widow and her furniture
until she can obtain other quarters"

Some Italian citizens of New \ Iork
wished the loan Of one of the flag
stafrs on the roof of the City Hall,
the other day, to display to the jolly
Gothamitcs the flag of sunny Italy.
Mayor Hewitt told them he would
not have any foreign flag upon the
ilagstaffs of the City Hall while he
was mayor. He evidently doesn't
think that the Italians can command
many votes.

places were filed after shut down of a
week. but since then the iron-workerS,
glaSs-blowers and Knights of Labor have
voted money and moral support to the
striking girls. The Trades assembly
adopted resolutions advising all friends
of united labor not 10 patronize the
laundry. This morning when the six laun-
dry wagons started out on their daily
rounds for collection of dirty linen six
light carriages in charge of Joseph L. Ev-
anf. one of the leading knights of Labor
appeared, diminishing along the street. rid
ing Up and down in front OF the laundry
wagons.
1t was quite awhile ere the laundry driv-
ers found ont they Were being followed
but directly they took cognizance that the
silent pursuers were stopping where they
halted, and noticed that the driver had a
little notebook with him in which he lot

that the desired interview would be grant
ed, STIMULATING, however, that ne himself
should also be present. Mr.. Morehead says
that the atmosphere in O'Brien's cell, to-
gether with a bread-and-Water diet, is
likely to have fatal effect upon a con-
sumptive person The breaking down of
Mr.. O'Brien's constitution, he thinks,
is only a question Of time.

whether he had any complaint TO
make regarding his treatment, and Mr.
